Dexter: Original Sin and Dexter: Resurrection are set to be crossover shows!
After months of anticipation, Paramount+ and Showtime finally unveiled the official trailer for Dexter: Original Sin on Tuesday. The nearly two-minute preview offers fans an exciting glimpse of the actors portraying younger versions of the beloved Miami Metro characters we’ve come to know so well.
A standout moment in the trailer—and one that left fans both surprised and thrilled—was the inclusion of Michael C. Hall, who will reprise his iconic role as Dexter Morgan not only in the upcoming 2025 sequel, Dexter: Resurrection, but also in Dexter: Original Sin, lending his voice for the inner monologues and the flashforward scenes. This exciting development makes both shows crossover series, confirming Nick Henderson's theory! (View article here)
The network’s decision to highlight scenes depicting the aftermath of the divisive Dexter: New Blood finale has reignited excitement and anticipation among viewers.
It’s now confirmed that Dexter Morgan survived, and Dexter: Resurrection will explore the aftermath of the near-fatal gunshot inflicted by his son, Harrison, during the climactic final moments of New Blood. So far, Michael C. Hall is the only actor confirmed to return in the sequel series. However, reports suggest that Peter Dinklage and Gillian Anderson are in talks for leading roles. More casting updates, including news about returning characters and some exciting new additions, are expected to be revealed soon.
Let’s return to the trailer and break down the scenes that showcase the aftermath of Dexter: New Blood with Dexter in Iron Lake. The two-minute video features only four scenes set in "the future," and two of them are never-before-seen footage.
'Resurrection' Footage Analysis
"It really is what they say. Your life flashes before your eyes."
1. The first scene featuring Michael C. Hall as Dexter in the Dexter: Original Sin trailer is none other than the moment where he’s left bleeding to death in the woods after Harrison shoots him. Fun fact: This scene, where Harrison "kills" Dexter, was actually one of the first to be filmed for Dexter: New Blood, despite it being part of the final moments of the mini-series. The reason? Hall wanted to seal Dexter’s fate once and for all!
2. Next, we see a police car heading toward Iron Lake, possibly on its way to the crime scene. While it’s not clear if this footage was used in Dexter: New Blood, it’s highly likely that it’s old.
3. A closer look at the police sticker on the side of the car reveals that the scene is mirrored, indicating that it’s indeed an old clip.
